Cervisia contains a deb directory in the CVS tree. It works 'almost'
flawlessly. The original parts appear to be from Ivan, then the
upstream asked for Ivan's debian dir files, incorporated them into CVS
and makes some updates to them at times. I think I only needed to make
small adjustments to debian/kderules and debian/rules to build a
lintian clean package.
